Finn, there are a few here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1415.0 but they are shit. I will get some up tomorrow… I am not really a fan of posting fit flicks of a pair when they are so new and don't fall properly. It doesn't really give the correct fit.

^true story…take your time mate!

Dropped them off at the tailor today to have a little custom work done… Should have them back in a day or two. Photos to come in "666 The Devil Made Me Do It 666"

Nope…

Oh shit! Can't wait to see what the devil made you do…

[nameness]

How many soaks are you guys giving these before you feel you have the shrinkage out?  I'm up to three and I feel like there's a bit left.

[gollotti]

I only gave mine one hot soak…..it was a proper one though.....very hot water (not enough to destroy the leather patch....then forgot about it for a while...I was happy with the result

[Finn666]

if you want all the shrinkage out of the way, the best to do is to give them a wash imo…then you should be good to go...

[LC_Miey]

I'd say 2 hot soak would be quite sufficient..

I did 2 hot soak at first pre wear and then after a couple of days, I did another 2 boiling soak( note: patch gone) and the measurements did not change much after the boiling soak…

here is after 2 hot soaks

and here is after the second boiling soak

[madmonday]

this was my third soak.

the denim is an unknown to me & i was just iffy on if all shrinkage was taken care of.  My first soak was when i got them.  then i wore them on and off for a little bit to see what i thought about them. after a few weeks i decided they were keepers and needed a hem.  at this point, i gave them a gentle soak so the folks working on them wouldn't have to deal with my sack sweat and took them to get taken care of.  when i got them back i wore them & just felt like they might still have a bit off give, so i did a boiling soak as a i'm- tired -of -playing- with -you- all & the result was, minimum change, if any to be honest.

they look pretty much the same to me, but the patch turned into overdone bacon.

From what I've read, the boil soak will now be put in the "unnecessary" category. (Thanks.) Tough break, man.

I do have replacement patches here…..............
